“제가 리턴 받을 금액이 2006년에 안 낸 세금으로 처리가 되었다구요.”----> As an injured spouse, you  can get relief when the IRS withholds a joint refund due to debts or obligations of the other spouse your hubby. You need to obtain Form 8379 and allocate income, adjustments, deductions and credits between yourself and your spouse in Part 2 of the form and send Form 8379 to the IRS, either with the joint return or separately after the joint return has been sent.
. “남편한테 물어봤더니 현재 세금 문제를 해결하고 있다고 합니다. 검색을 해보니 form 8379를 해서 다시 IRS에 보내라고 하는데요.”----->As your husband  has an unpaid tax bill from prior year,2006, in this case, I guess, the IRS can grab your refund for the current year,2011, as a payment on that liability. The IRS figures they shouldn't be sending you a refund when your husband owes them money.  Since you're married, you may have a refund on a joint return. It's likely that the IRS will try to seize that refund as your  spouse has an unpaid liability as described above. But if only one spouse, your hubby, in this case, owes the liability, the other spouse , you,are entitled to your share of the refund. If the IRS has applied your share of a refund against a liability owed by your hubby, you're an injured spouse entitled to relief. You can also use the injured spouse rule to prevent the IRS from grabbing your refund in the first place.If the IRS has applied your refund against your spouse's liability, or you're concerned that the IRS may do so, you need to obtain Form 8379 as you said.The form requests identifying information for you and your spouse, and information needed to determine how much of the tax  and refund  is attributable to each spouse. The IRS makes the actual calculation that divides the refund between you and your spouse. If you're an injured spouse for a return that's already been filed, you should file this form with the IRS Service Center for the place where you lived when you filed that return. If you're trying to prevent the IRS from seizing a refund on a return you haven't yet filed, you should attach Form 8379 when you file the return.

“내년부터는 각각 보고를 할 생각입니다.”------. You can choose married filing separately as your filing status if you are married. This filing status may benefit you if you want to be responsible only for your own tax or if it results in less tax than filing a joint return. If you and your spouse do not agree to file a joint return, you may have to use this filing status unless you qualify for head of household status. If you file a separate return, you generally report only your own income, exemptions, credits, and deductions on your individual return. You can claim an exemption for your spouse, personal exemption, I mean, if your spouse had no gross income and was not the dependent of another person. However, if your spouse had any gross income or was the dependent of someone else, you cannot claim an exemption for him or her on your separate return.
